Hi before being jettisoned by direct payments the County Council funded advocacy.
Now the great bit about it was filling in forms and I also had a Key Worker.
Citizens Advice may be able to refer you.
Sadly I lost both of these when DWP threw me under a bus1 -

Hi,You can try putting your postcode into this link to see what's available local to you, https://advicelocal.uk/Welfare rights or a law centre represent people at Tribunals. CAB rarely represent now because of lack of funding. If you're unable to find someone do you have a friend or family member that can attend with you?Do be aware though that even with representation or a family member/friend you will still be expected to speak for yourself during your hearing. A rep won't know anything about your condition to be able to speak on your behalf, the best person to do this is yourself.They are usually very understanding and if there's a question you don't understand ask them to repeat it. The Tribunal are total independent to DWP and the health assessment providers and are there to listen.I'm afraid no one can tell you what questions you will be asked on the day, this will totally depend on how your conditions affect you. Do you currently have a daily living award?May i ask if you've sent your submission letter yet? Any extra evidence you have should be sent to arrive no later than 10 days before the hearing date. Lastly, don't forget you'll need to take your bundle with you on the day of the hearing.This link will help you to know what expect on the day. https://equallives.org.uk/info-and-advice/welfare-and-benefits/what-happens-at-a-tribunal-hearing/Good luck.
